and if you want, i could tell you the truth
that this life takes a toll on you. i spend nights
“Mhm.” Sunjata replies, flashing an easy smile Remi’s way. “Makes it easier with his whole being Ascended deal. In my case it prevents my shit getting broken before I have time to explain.” It isn’t like he would have kept it a secret from Phoebe, but she’d already gotten to the bar by the time he’d managed to make it home. But that’s neither here nor there. It was easier this way. It was easier, and it worked.
As for Outlanders, Sunjata can’t help the huff of laughter that leaves him, the shake of his head. “No, we always will be. Like a black streak around us. Everything bad that happens is because we showed up.” Maybe he’s paraphrasing here, but that was the gist of what he’d gotten from helping Raza. And while she might not have blamed him directly, given what he’d done for the sea panther, it was still a statement made all the same.
But he speaks on what Safrin told him, gaze flickering back to Remi, discomfort settling and making a home within him. Would he Ascend? He had considered it before, before he’d attuned, before any of this happened. But now? With the shifts Safrin had given him, all the help she had been to him, he feels forever indebted. He wouldn’t Ascend unless his life depended on it, and even then he recalls the way Sam had been stripped of everything when he’d tried to rebel against the Voice.
Sucking in a sharp breath, chewing on the inside of his cheek, he focuses on Remi before he shakes his head. “No. I don’t think I would. I would… Try to petition and work to fix them so they weren’t so dependent on the Voice but I don’t want to be trapped like they are.” Like when Nate had muttered about missing feeling, unable to feel the soft touches Sunjata gives him, unable to feel the ghost of a kiss to a cheek. “Nate harbors a lot of regret about it. If anything I’d try to save just him.”

SUNJATA
Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
